anyway i asked if he had ever heard of ‘the sugar lump’ for dellivering certain drugs into the uman system… well he had six kids so yes he had heard of the sugar lump, so i pointed out that as they had to train a person to give an injection, anyone can give the sugar lump… so off he went… he never spoke to me for a month…lol…
